You Seriously Need to Watch 'Crazy World': Wakaliwood Uganda’s Action Triumph
Crazy World gives fans of Wakaliwood movies what they want by playing up the comedy and action just like their movies before.
Holding Achilles
Set against the epic violence of the Trojan War, Holding Achilles by David Morton is a refreshing take on one of the ancient world’s best-known heroes, and his relationship with Patroclus, his not so well-known lover. As a young exile taken in by Achilles’ father, Patroclus faces hostility from the young hero until they are thrust together to train under the centaur Chiron, and the two form an unlikely friendship. As Achilles doggedly seeks to fulfil his mother’s prophecy to become a legend, their relationship becomes something more. But war with Troy is brewing, and the two young men find themselves caught between their hopes for a future together and the brutal realities of the world that faces them. Recorded by Pixelframe in partnership with Digital Stage made possible by QPAC.
